Lifeguard Training Course

What to expect from Lifeguard and Water Safety Training

Our water safety and lifeguarding courses are  taught by one of our managers Shaun Bach.  ​Lifeguard training courses are for candidates interested in working at our pool. All candidates must be at least 15 years old at the start of the class and have strong swimming skills (able to swim freestyle and breaststroke).
All candidates are required to pass a pre-test, which consists of a 300 yard swim, performing both freestyle and breaststroke, along with a timed 10-lb brick retrieval exercise. Candidates must bring identification documents to pre-test for proof of age.
